दृष्ट्वा निरुद्ध्यमानां तां विदर्भाधिपतिः पुरीम् । योद्धुमभ्याययौ तूर्णं बलेन महता वृतः
dṛṣṭvā niruddhyamānāṃ tāṃ vidarbhādhipatiḥ purīm | yoddhumabhyāyayau tūrṇaṃ balena mahatā vṛtaḥ
தன் நகரம் முற்றுகையிடப்படுவதைக் கண்ட விதர்ப அதிபதி, பெரும் படையால் சூழப்பட்டவனாய், போருக்கு விரைந்து புறப்பட்டான்.

Listener: Sages
Scene: Satyaratha armored, mounting a chariot or horse, surrounded by a vast army; city gate behind him; standards unfurl; the moment of departure toward battle.
